That is awesome, thanks for posting. I still found it crazy that the day after I bought issue #38 I found out about Adrian's passing and it just seemed surreal. He's left the metal community with a huge legacy, and I'm glad that this final piece by him gets to see the light of day. Kudos

Wow, I just checked it out and I think that's the best layout I've ever seen in U! Very colorful and well made. Too bad Adrian never saw the end result. Thanks for posting this and also for making it happen.

Yes, some very nice fine work by all of the U! staff, with Adrian, as is fitting, once again taking the lead with an astounding quantity of interviews.

I must give a special shout-out to our layout artist, Rex, and our copy editor, Rob, who were instrumental in bringing this final issue to fruition under sad and difficult circumstances. Thanks guys!

Cheers to you and Rex...and, of course, Adrian, who had such a huge impact on all our lives.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the layout. Adrian loved it for some reason. lol So he actually did get to see it finished (minus a few minor text tweaks). We were only about a day away from it being totally finished before his passing.

Thanks! This was my favorite magazine, it was always perfect for those that followed the underground metal scene, in all its genres and sub-genres. I don't think there will ever be another zine like it, especially in this age where fewer people buy them. Unrestrained had a good healthy run, and now I get to read #39, the final issue!

The Enslaved article refers to Below the Lights as "Between the Lights". hehe...

But good mag so far!

No kidding...

Thanks, Tate, for making sure this happened.

It was a team effort, so thanks should go out to all involved.

Glad that it's finally out. Please feel free to spread the word!

By the way: I am interested in hearing some comments about my Darkthrone interview. I think that the most recent Darkthrone album in particular was woefully misunderstood by many of its detractors (and not picked up on by many who would likely be interested in what it offers), so I used this interview opportunity as a vehicle to advance that argument (among other things), and it would appear that the esteemed interviewee agreed with my analysis.
